Ask a question
Do I have to change my phone number?

No. Calls forward from the number you already have.

What happens when the caller wants a human?

The call is transferred to the phone you choose. If nobody answers, it takes a message and texts you.

Is client data safe?

Documents stay in your portal and storage. The AI reads them there and writes into your systems, nothing is copied out.

Your systems stay yours

Nothing to migrate, nothing new to learn. A person is always one step away.
